If the panel is part of the form, then use the panel name (lets call it MyPanel)
Then, add your label controls to the panel - we will assume the label strings are in an array or list called myLabelStrings:

int x = 10;
int y = 10;
foreach (string s in myLabelStrings)
   {
   Label l = new Label();
   l.Text = s;
   l.Location.X = x;
   l.Location.Y = y;
   l.Visible = true;
   y += 50;
   MyPanel.Controls.Add(l);
   }
